Surname meaning for "Green"

English: one of the most common and widespread of English
surnames, either a nickname for someone who was fond of dressing in
this color (Old English grene) or who had played the part of
the ‘Green Man’ in the May Day celebrations, or a topographic name for
someone who lived near a village green, Middle English grene (a
transferred use of the color term). In North America this name has no
doubt assimilated cognates from other European languages, notably
German Grün (see Gruen).
